dacron wrapping

Dacron wrapping is the secret behind cushions that look plump, crisp and professionally finished. This layer of polyester batting goes between your foam and the upholstery fabric, softening hard edges and filling the cover so it fits smoothly instead of sagging or wrinkling.

Why Wrap Foam in Dacron?

Bare foam can feel firm and boxy, and its surface rubs against fabric over time. A layer of dacron batting adds a gentle, rounded crown and helps the cover slide on more easily during assembly.

• Fuller look: fills out corners and seams for a tailored finish
• Softer feel: adds a comfortable top layer to firm foam
• Less friction: creates a buffer between foam and fabric that helps reduce wear

What to Look For

Loft and Thickness

Thinner wrap keeps a sharp, tailored profile, while higher-loft upholstery batting creates a softer, puffier crown. Match the loft to the style of your seat, back or pillow cushions.

Bonded vs. Unbonded

Bonded polyester fiber holds together well and resists shifting, making it easy to cut and wrap around foam cushions cleanly.
